'Explore the Art of Puppetry' is a demonstration workshop that gives students an understanding of the different styles of puppetry and the skills that go into writing a play and producing a show using puppets, including the technology required for building puppets and engineering light and sound. Featuring shadow puppets, hand puppets, rod puppets, marionettes and a giant parade figure, the workshop is designed to give students a better appreciation for puppet theater and to inspire them to create their own shows. Ideally the workshop is paired with a performance by Catskill Puppet Theater.
